Youtube doesn't do fullscreen anymore.

[alxcsb]

I've just updated the graphics driver for my laptop (Toshiba P200-1EE, HD2600) and I've noticed that whenever I try going into fullscreen on youtube, it causes a bit of a problem. It looks like the picture, the audio still works fine, but the video freezes. I can press Esc to go back to the browser, and everything works fine. I would like to not roll the driver back as it helps in a lot of games by making them playable, as opposed to the old driver, and I do need my WoT fix at work. Any idea how I could fix this?

What browser are you using? Updated flash player + browser?

Well if nothing else works, you'll have to try rolling the drivers back.

Checked with IE whatever version(the latest, they kept poping ads, so I gave it a try and hated it) and that one works perfectly fine, but it's too slow. The browser with the problem is Chrome. And rolling the driver back doesn't fix it either.

What about uninstalling an re-installing Chrome? I'm guessing you've already tried that?

 

[alxcsb]

Indeed. What other browsers should I try, just for the youtube part, as I can't let go of chrome for general browsing. I used to enjoy firefox up until a couple of years ago, is it still decent? Maybe Safari, although that does feel like having a mistress.

Firefox is still pretty good. I do use from time to time.

The latest internet explorer works too.

Try opting into the HTML5 trial on YouTube to see if it is in fact Flash causing the issue.

I had to roll back the driver as it was causing all sorts of crashes and problems, besides the full screen issue, and now it works fine, but I lost around 10-15% of FPS in all 3D games. I don't get this though, as it's the official Toshiba driver, and since they don't allow the original AMD driver, I would expect this to work properly. By the way, any proper way of installing original AMD drivers on this sort of platform?

Did you update flash? You should visit the Adobe flash website in Chrome and make sure you have the latest.
